We are so damn lucky to live in a time where several of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME sportsmen in BJJ casually upload tutorials on RUclips. Just try to imagine another sport that gifts its participants so generously... Thank you, Bernardo, and all the wonderful guests on your channel.
exactly last night i was having trouble with this pass and i can just go on RUclips and for free watch the best body locker in the world personally teach me
I think because portuguese is his mother tongue, when he said a personal question he means a question that comes from HIS person, not something that is a secret or something.
@@LucasFerreira-qx6kr you are 100% correct, i'm brazilian and he meant "I'm asking a question that comes from a doubt that i Bernardo have" and not "I want to ask you a question about a private matter on your personal life"
That’s why he’s the best. He trains 3x a day 6 days a week lol. That’s why he makes it look easy! But he also happens to be a great instructor. I love his instructionals.
He's also showing this on a fully compliant partner that isn't resisting at all. It's the reality of pretty much all jiu-jitsu instruction. It's always harder than it looks.
@@DB-23 Yes. I am aware, thanks lol. I am saying things are always harder than they look in a demo/during instruction. Wasn't saying they don't work lmfao.
I started working on this months ago and at first I was like wtf. It felt kind of unnatural. Even after just a few months I'm much better at it and it's absolutely miserable for the person on the bottom. Gordon and John are phenomenal and absolute geniuses when it comes to grappling.
This is incredible, I’ve specifically been learning body lock from Gordon’s guard passing as well as John’s and can’t get enough of it. Thursday and Sunday I’ve been drilling leg locks and body lock passing specifically so this couldn’t have come at a better time.
@@ninobach7456this is one of my common problems with passing in general. It's natural human instinct to want to step over to pass, and consequently for them to frame. I'm sure there's better ways to deal with it than how I do, but with the other two options posed here (shelf or split) I automatically am thinking to work more on these since they're not as common which means they won't be as recognized and practiced in defense. My thoughts anyway. Maybe someone more experienced will chime in as well
After years of watching your interviews, I just noticed you're running a business by giving away so much great instructionals. I will purchase a video very soon and thank you, Bernardo!
Personally I stuff a hook first and they can't get to full guard, but if I have the grip and they do get to something like full guard I just Sao Paolo pass without letting my bodylock go
You are suppossed to prevent that. You'll see in the instructional how your knee position will compress your opponents foot to his butt often times making that difficult. If your opponent manages to put you in closed guard that kills your bodylock and you have to let go stand up break the clsoed guard and start all over again.
I think the idea is that your hip pressure is keeping their butterfly hooks inside until you’re ready to get around them. I can see how it would be a problem tho
His techniques are very frustrating to counter. His body lock passing is more dynamic than other instructionals on the topic as well. More of a dilemma creation than a pass. It’s a perfect response to the leg lock game. The big challenge against better people is controlling the inside space well enough to get this depth of penetration and a good lock. But that’s the fight. Lachlan Giles does a good job on this topic as well.
I can pass with the body lock nearly everytime but run into the issue of clearing the frames when they turn towards my pass side before I can settle into side control. Anyone have this issue ?
The amount of knowledge on jiu jitsu positions and leverages and concepts and principles of this gringo is just fucking amazing. He doesn't just do awesome jiu jitsu, he explains every fucking move he does.
Curiosity question if anyone can help....cuz i am a white belt at body lock style of passing......@5:45 are you able to pull off a peterson roll if you use your left arm on their left and scissor your legs while going belly down? (On anyone except Gordon?) Lol
im confused on how you don't get swept from the high tripod body lock, like especially if your opponent is a lot bigger than you can't they just throw you over with their legs?
Guilherme Mendes was a pressure passing monster at that weight back in the day. Good guy to watch if you want to see how a lighter guy does it at a high level.
Gordon speaks in a way of enlightment, as if things are obvious and natural, there's no rigid structure, he just flows. This is what bruce lee ment by "be water my friend"
Lol. Dont want to be the judge on that one, but I really like that he includes rolling footage, because it's great actually see the move with counters and counter-counters
Bernardo we need to get Gordon Ryan and Khabib to roll to see what’s better. Sambo or Jiu Jitsu. I think both are phenomenal grapplers but I think Gordon takes the W.
@@REXAZOR JT Torres would be a good match up against Khabib. But they’d have to make a rule set against leg locks because that would be no fun if he just gets heel hooked right at the start.
In a submission only grappling match, Gordon can probably tap him. In a points format similar to ADCC, it may be close but Gordon still probably wins. Once you add strikes in, Khabib smeshes him without mercy. Khabib's grappling game is amplified by the threat of smesh. You get stuck between choosing between getting punched in the face or choked out. Choked out is usually the better choice.
Well first of all you should just avoid being in closed guard. You can't body lock from closed guard effectively (save a few niche techniques) but you should just avoid closed guard then go for the body lock whenever the opportunity presents itself from open guard. Or stuff their legs and drop into butterfly if you want to force it
Probably because he's not MMA fighter / boxer making tons of money? So he's trying to make a little extra by filming instructionals 🤔 Or because bjj consumers usually tend to be mid- and upper classes who have more disposable income to buy fan products, where in other sports the consumer base is more balanced across the society? 🤔
Depends on where you made the mistake and what type of bodylock pass you were going for. Usually when bodylock passing you want to draw them in towards you and connect their heels to their butt as tightly as possible, this elimiates their ability to shoot the triangle. If you base out with your hand or try to stuff a leg with your hand you risk being triangled.
If benardo comes out with a shirt that says "huge honor for me" I'd buy it
What if I told you he already did ?
Think it’s on his website
Only if it's a rashguard
The back has to say that's incredible
Absolutely
We are so damn lucky to live in a time where several of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME sportsmen in BJJ casually upload tutorials on RUclips. Just try to imagine another sport that gifts its participants so generously...
Thank you, Bernardo, and all the wonderful guests on your channel.
Almost every lol
not casually but yeah it's awesome
exactly last night i was having trouble with this pass and i can just go on RUclips and for free watch the best body locker in the world personally teach me
It's BJJ fanatics that are doing it. They paid them and they upload it and hope you buy it. It's really awesome
Gordon's instructionals are probably his biggest source of income. So really, it's the internet that we should be thankful for! :D
6:12 the audacity Bernardo had to ask such a personal question
Never ask a man how he grips
wait I dont get it
@@marctan9087 The joke was that it was not actually a personal question
I think because portuguese is his mother tongue, when he said a personal question he means a question that comes from HIS person, not something that is a secret or something.
@@LucasFerreira-qx6kr you are 100% correct, i'm brazilian and he meant "I'm asking a question that comes from a doubt that i Bernardo have" and not "I want to ask you a question about a private matter on your personal life"
Gordon and Danaher are great but New Wave is a terrible name
Love the way Gordon speaks almost identically to Danaher. Great teachers.
10:02 just hit me that you’re actually using their defense (lifting you) to improve your offense (weightless legs). Another ah ha JJ moment.
Gordon makes it look so easy. I’ve been trying the body lock passes and it’s way harder than he makes it look.
That’s why he’s the best. He trains 3x a day 6 days a week lol. That’s why he makes it look easy! But he also happens to be a great instructor. I love his instructionals.
He's also showing this on a fully compliant partner that isn't resisting at all. It's the reality of pretty much all jiu-jitsu instruction. It's always harder than it looks.

How are you dealing with people framing on your knee? Because that's my daily reality in the gym

Gordon ‘s technical knowledge is amazing. No wonder he’s the best.
He's the best because of john
@@jc-pe6ue John gives Ryan the credit. Ryan is the one that trained, competed and won multiple world titles.
Gordon is as good in teaching as in fighting. Scary. God Bless.
4:15 You can tell Gordon had been doing a lot of wrestling.
After years of watching your interviews, I just noticed you're running a business by giving away so much great instructionals. I will purchase a video very soon and thank you, Bernardo!
What if he puts you in full guard while you are body locking.
Personally I stuff a hook first and they can't get to full guard, but if I have the grip and they do get to something like full guard I just Sao Paolo pass without letting my bodylock go

@@Larkespur such an underused pass!
He must have studied Nicky Rod. If he keeps practicing he might be able to pass Peña’s guard one day
Gordon has become a Danaher on how he analyzes every detail and creates solutions for every issue wow
Me: “I’m not buying anymore Bjj instructionals.
Me after Bjj fanatics drops a teaser video: “okay ONE more dvd won’t hurt”
I Wana buy some but they are expensive
@@jojotorres20 it is expensive but it is worth more than sh1tty offline seminar mate 😂
What if you're lying on his underhooked arm? How do you deal with it?
Gordon ryan always has the same kind of look i have going to surprise family gatherings

The volume on these videos is forever low
are you strong because you are Gordan , or you are Gordan because you are strong
Nah, i´d win
When I try to pass guard with a lock pass, my opponent hinders me by pushing my head with his hands.
Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks
I can pass with the body lock nearly everytime but run into the issue of clearing the frames when they turn towards my pass side before I can settle into side control. Anyone have this issue ?
Does the instructional cover application of this when you are in opponent’s closed guard?
The amount of knowledge on jiu jitsu positions and leverages and concepts and principles of this gringo is just fucking amazing. He doesn't just do awesome jiu jitsu, he explains every fucking move he does.
5:57 - that made me laugh. It's such a genuine moment.
Awesome stuff
Hi Bernardo can you get gordon talk about his stomach issues and what helped him to get better
Wish he'd show us how to get the body lock first ...
The information that is in this video improved my grappling. Cant wait for the full curriculum!
1:55 shifts base foot to the inside and behind his own leg to split his legs
Curiosity question if anyone can help....cuz i am a white belt at body lock style of passing......@5:45 are you able to pull off a peterson roll if you use your left arm on their left and scissor your legs while going belly down? (On anyone except Gordon?) Lol
Ladies and gentlemen this is a genius at work! 👌
Nicky rods instructional is better
im confused on how you don't get swept from the high tripod body lock, like especially if your opponent is a lot bigger than you can't they just throw you over with their legs?
In the video he goes over reactions from your opponent. I’m a smaller guy and have a had pretty goodsuccess using the high tripod
0:01 the pain in Gordon’s eyes🤣
what an era of new knowledge coming out.
wow. the detail is something. no wonder he's so good.
This is pure gold- again!!!!
Thanks gentlemen.. much appreciated.. 🤘
What I'd bottom player uses Ezekiel choke to make you let go?
Invaluable tuition 🤜💥🤛
💪 very nuice
Интересная комбинация)
Да согласен. Все, чему учат Гордон (и Данахер), очень структурировано.
RIUDI ONOR FOR MI TU UATI DIS TIANEL
👏
Big - Gord on that rashguard is awesome!! :D
Came here for the Huge Honor ❤❤❤
Damn, he lost 30 pounds of muscle...
I kinda have to watch this now
God bless Bernardo Faria
The only rashguard that's uglier than any of Gordon's is that red bjj fanatic monstrosity
Gordon should wear a Homelander cape along with that rash guard 💥
Thanks tune in coach ❤
9:34 high tripod method
God like
I compete at light feather, should I focus on this pass? Tight passing is hard for me
Guilherme Mendes was a pressure passing monster at that weight back in the day. Good guy to watch if you want to see how a lighter guy does it at a high level.

Good stuff guys
Gordon looking lean
O desgraçado é um gênio!
Gordon is quickly becoming (or maybe has already became) the best instructor in the world. Even better than John. His instructionals are amazing.
Settle down
Lol. Dont want to be the judge on that one, but I really like that he includes rolling footage, because it's great actually see the move with counters and counter-counters
hella lit
Thank you gentlemen
awesome

0:01 Look how stoked Gordon is to be here.
Huge honor for him 🙂
🔥
Is this from the Attacking the Guard 2.0?
Is he seriously saying "figure of four" now? John's almost finished downloading his consciousness into Gordon, isn't he?
Bernardo we need to get Gordon Ryan and Khabib to roll to see what’s better. Sambo or Jiu Jitsu. I think both are phenomenal grapplers but I think Gordon takes the W.
Gordon is a much larger man, it would not be fair
@@Bennettanator As if khabib would stand a chance v 77kg guys like Giles/JTtorres or Gary tonon they would make mince meat of his legs lol
@@Bennettanator yes that’s true. But Khabib is looking a little hefty nowadays. Maybe they can do a catch weight bout 🤷🏽♂️
@@REXAZOR JT Torres would be a good match up against Khabib. But they’d have to make a rule set against leg locks because that would be no fun if he just gets heel hooked right at the start.

Kermit the frog
I’m a traditional pressure passer, I use knee wedge and elbow pressure to pop a guard open, AT what POiNt Do I dive for the body lock
Well first of all you should just avoid being in closed guard. You can't body lock from closed guard effectively (save a few niche techniques) but you should just avoid closed guard then go for the body lock whenever the opportunity presents itself from open guard. Or stuff their legs and drop into butterfly if you want to force it
Have Gordon and Marcelo rolled?
Can this translate into the gi?
I smell my finger all the time too
10:01 how do i avoid being thrown overhead in the high tripod position?
Keep the shoulder under the chin
Probably because he's not MMA fighter / boxer making tons of money? So he's trying to make a little extra by filming instructionals 🤔
Or because bjj consumers usually tend to be mid- and upper classes who have more disposable income to buy fan products, where in other sports the consumer base is more balanced across the society? 🤔
Huh???
This was an answer to a silly question another user asked. I guess she felt silly and deleted her question.
When I tried this pass with unlocked hands partner got me in triangle. Why?
Depends on where you made the mistake and what type of bodylock pass you were going for. Usually when bodylock passing you want to draw them in towards you and connect their heels to their butt as tightly as possible, this elimiates their ability to shoot the triangle. If you base out with your hand or try to stuff a leg with your hand you risk being triangled.
@@JACKKiXi it was when I went elbow on thigh like in the video
@@MrAntinexus Make sure to not go too deep with the elbow, and when you split the legs it should be impossible to be triangled.
I havent got enough weed to smoke and time to train all of this . 17 years sooo far of Jiu jitsu and still more stuff to learn !!!! WTF !!!!!!
He is asking to fet choked out
What the hell are you talking about
this is one of the meta passes in nogi right now, you have no idea what youre talking about
lol .... c'mon, tell us how!
It almost feels weird to see Gorden with out his Zeus look
